Gen. Journal Line Table

General journal lines appear when you open a general journal in
the General Ledger, Sales & Receivables, Purchases &
Payables and Fixed Assets application areas. To create lines in a
journal, click the first empty line and fill in the fields.

In Navision there are three levels under the journal menu items:
journal templates, journal batches and journal lines. This lets you
use different journals that are suited to different tasks. You can
have several journals of the same type; for example, every employee
can have his or her own journal.

When you choose a journal, the program displays the most
recently used journal batch name. If you want to use another
journal batch name, click the AssistButton to the right of the
Batch Name field. The General Jnl. Batches window appears. Here you
can choose from among the existing batch names or create new
ones.

In Navision, there are several standard general journal
templates set up in menu items in the General Ledger, Sales &
Receivables, Purchases & Payables and Fixed Assets application
areas. They cover the most common routines used in the program, and
in all of these journal templates, you can post entries to G/L,
customer, vendor and fixed asset accounts.

The General Ledger application area contains the General
Journals menu item.

In the Sales & Receivables application area there are two
journals: Sales Journals and Cash Receipt Journals. These are
specially designed for creating sales invoices and registering
payments from customers. (If you have access to sales documents
such as invoices, you will normally use those facilities instead of
sales journals.)

The Purchases & Payables application area contains two
journals: Purchase Journals and Payment Journals. These contain the
fields necessary for creating purchase invoices and registering
payments to vendors. (If you have access to purchase documents such
as invoices, you will normally use those facilities instead of
purchase journals.)

The Fixed Assets application area contains several types of
journals. The FA G/L Journal is a general journal, which is
integrated to the general ledger. It is designed for posting fixed
asset transactions such as acquisition and depreciation.

Each of these application areas also
has a recurring general journal. This is a special window in which
you can define a recurring frequency and other specifications and
allocate amounts by using the Allocation
table. When you use a recurring journal, you need to type entries
in only once if you will post the same information afterward.
Whenever you want to post the same information again, you only need
to choose Post.
